The Titans have worked on a wet-ball drill during training camp, but there was little to prepare the offense for what happened during the downpour in the first quarter of the preseason opener on Saturday.

In the span of four plays against the Green Bay Packers at LP Field, there were two mishandled exchanges between center Brian Schwenke and quarterback Jake Locker – one on a shotgun snap, the other on a standard snap.

"We work on that. We practice in the rain as long as there's not lightning," Schwenke said. "I've never seen rain like that before. It didn't stop. It didn't let up for a long time.

"I think it was really good for us, to be honest. I'm really glad we got a look at that in case it happens again."
